Background: Improvements in the clinical diagnostic use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the identification of liver disorders have been made possible by gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA). Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology is in high demand.
Objectives: The purpose of the study is to segment the liver using an enhanced multi-gradient deep convolution neural network (EMGDCNN) and to identify and categorize a localized liver lesion using a Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI.

The liver is supplied by a dual blood flow system consisting of the portal vein and hepatic artery. Imaging techniques for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been developed along with blood flow imaging, which visualizes the amount of arterial and portal blood flow. The diagnosis of HCC differentiation is important for early-stage liver cancer screening and determination of treatment strategies.

Background: Given the limited capacity and suboptimal sensitivity of ultrasonography (US), gadoxetic acid disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates good diagnostic performance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Some researchers have proposed that the abbreviated MRI (AMRI) protocols have potential as a surveillance tool. However, few studies have compared multiple AMRI protocols with complete Gd-EOB-DTPA contrast-enhanced MRI for HCC surveillance.

Background: Vessels encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) pattern is tumor vasculature of HCC and is a predictor of prognosis and therapeutic efficacy. Recent radiological studies have demonstrated the predictability of VETC from preoperative images, but the mechanisms of image formation are not elucidated. This study aims to determine the relationship between VETC and intratumor heterogeneity in Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) and to provide its pathological evidence.

Objective: To develop a novel hybrid model for preoperative prediction of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to identify patients who may benefit from postoperative targeted immunotherapy.
Methods: Retrospective data were gathered from 332 patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection and gadoxetate disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MRI at two tertiary hospitals (training cohort, n = 205; internal validation cohort, n = 90; and external validation cohort, n = 37) between March 2020 and January 2023. Radiomic features were extracted from Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI sequences.
